2. Yes, I love their whole attitude (sarcasm)
Only if they say the vote is accurate, is the vote accurate. When they lose then there was obviously fraud. When Democrats lose, they tell us they have a mandate, the people have spoken, God decided it, and by the way get over it losers.

They sure can dish it out but they can't take it.

On a related note there has been a bill filed to make Texas have verifiable paper ballots on e-voting systems by 2006. Yeah Aaron Pena and Eliot Shapleigh!!

Legislator’s bill would mandate change for electronic voting machines
AUSTIN — A Rio Grande Valley representative filed a bill Tuesday that would require electronic voting machines to give voters a paper receipt.

House Bill 166, filed by state Rep. Aaron Peña, D-Edinburg, would require that electronic voting machines produce a paper ballot that allows voters to confirm on paper the choices they made on the machine. It would go into effect Jan. 1, 2006.

Peña wants to make sure election officials don’t waste money on expensive electronic voting machines only to find out later that they need paper trails, he said.

In the Valley and around the country, many middle-aged and elderly voters have a distrust of computers or are not comfortable using them, he said. A paper trail would help make for fairer elections, both in perception and in reality, he said.
